2024 Fourstardave Handicap picks, odds: Horse racing writer has best bets for Sunday's race
Some of the country's best turf milers square off on Sunday when the starting gate opens in the 2024 Fourstardave Handicap on Sunday at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Originally scheduled for Saturday, the Fourstardave was pushed back to Sunday because of turf conditions. Ottoman Fleet has been installed as the slight 8-5 morning-line favorite in the 2024 Fourstardave odds. Carl Spackler is the 9-5 second choice among the six Fourstardave horses. Post time for the $500,000 race is 6:16 p.m. ET.
With an accomplished field set to enter the starting gate on Sunday, you'll want to see what SportsLine writer Gene Menez has to say before making any Fourstardave picks or horse racing predictions. Join SportsLine here to get his full Fourstardave picks.
A former reporter and editor at Sports Illustrated, Menez covered an array of sports, including horse racing, for the magazine and its website for almost 14 years. Between 2010 and 2012, he served as SI's handicapper for the Triple Crown races and correctly predicted Super Saver to win the Kentucky Derby in 2010.
In 2015, while writing for Sports on Earth, Menez accurately gave out the Kentucky Derby superfecta (American Pharoah, Firing Line, Dortmund and Frosted), which paid $1,268.20 for $2. Then in 2017, he tweeted out his Kentucky Derby picks, including Always Dreaming to win, and hit the Pick 4, which paid almost $6,900 on a $1 bet. Join SportsLine right here to see his 2024 Fourstardave picks.
In a span of seven races last year for SportsLine, he cashed the winner of the Lecomte Stakes, the exacta in the Southwest Stakes, the winner of the Holy Bull Stakes, the winner of the Sam F. Davis Stakes, and the trifecta in the Jenny Wiley Stakes. In May, Menez gave out 18-1 Mystik Dan as a live longshot in the Kentucky Derby. And in June he nailed Trikari to win the Belmont Derby Invitational Stakes.
Now, Menez has looked at the 2024 Fourstardave, made his picks and formulated his bets. Join SportsLine here to see them.
We can tell you that Menez is completely fading Ottoman Fleet, even though he is the 8-5 morning-line favorite. "There's no value there," Menez told SportsLine. Ottoman Fleet does not appear in any of Menez's wagers.
Instead, Menez's pick is a horse who "has the ability to beat this field." He is including this horse in his wagers, and so should you. You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see which horse it is before making any 2024 Fourstardave picks of your own!
So what horse wins the 2024 Fourstardave? And how has Menez constructed his wagers? ... Join SportsLine now to get the top 2024 Fourstardave picks and bets, all from the expert who gave out 18-1 Mystik Dan as a live longshot in the Kentucky Derby!
